MOODY GOOD BIO

Edwin "Eddie" John Jefferys is an English music producer, artist and sound designer. He is best known for his work as a member of the duo 16bit and his solo project Moody Good.

His work as 16bit employed bass heavy music, and resulted in multiple publishing syncs for Nike, the Transformers film series and the film Safe House. He was involved with the production of Björk's Biophilia album.

He released his debut solo album Moody Good with MTA Records and Owsla on 2 June 2014. The album won Best Album in the 2014 Bass Music Awards.

Jefferys produced a single for the rap group Foreign Beggars entitled "Anywhere", provided additional production for the Chase & Status track "Gangsta Boogie" and remixed Yogi's single featuring Pusha T 'Burial'.

He later released a 6 track EP on OWSLA's sister label NEST entitled This Is The Investigation, in 2015, which explored experimental sounds and textures.

Jefferys worked alongside Skrillex as a sound designer on the film Transformers: Age of Extinction. In 2017 Jefferys released a collection of music in the form of 3 mixes/mixtapes entitled Music To Go Fuck Yourself To, and remixed Noisia's track "Get Deaded".

Whilst continuing to produce and release solo music under the Moody Good alias, Jefferys works with British video artist and Director Chris Cunningham on audio/visual projects. In 2019, Jefferys released his sophomore extended play Goofball through English record label Never Say Die on 15 March 2019.

YOUNGSTA BIO

Youngsta should need very little introduction by now. One of the figureheads of dubstep since the very beginning, long-running resident at scene-defining club night FWD>> and the DJ who first played some of the genre’s most-loved anthems, he continues to be a hugely active figure in dubstep’s development. His weekly show

on Rinse FM draws deep for new music, helping to expose and break talented new producers, and the founding ethics that defined dubstep in its early years still remain at the heart of his DJ set.

He’s also famed for his distinct aesthetic – selecting beats that are at once colossally heavy and beautifully intricate, claustrophobic yet with a keen ear for space and silence. “The sound is just me,” he says, explaining that he’s hesitant to pigeonhole the music he plays. “It’s Youngsta. It’s what I’ve always done. People say it’s not changed much, but you can hear progression and change, definitely, it’s not the same as it was. It’s obviously the same vibe, it’s going to to be deep.”

In the last couple of years, as the deeper aspects of dubstep – those rooted strongly in sound system culture – have coalesced into their own distinct, autonomous scene, Youngsta has re-emerged as a figurehead for a new generation of producers. The likes of J:Kenzo, Proxima, Icicle, VIVEK and Nomine are all closely linked with Youngsta himself, forming a new vanguard in an increasingly unique, vibrant scene. Contact – a new club night curated by Youngsta himself – is set to place these producers and others in the context of the wider dance community that surrounds them.

So it’s perhaps surprising that it took until 2012 – eleven years since FWD>> first opened its doors – for Youngsta’s debut solo 12″ to arrive on Tempa, featuring the tracks ‘Destruction’ and ‘Poseidon’. ‘Destruction’ takes a while to live up to its ominous title, with clouds gradually gathering throughout the track before finally erupting into a huge and violent thunderstorm. Aptly named after the Greek god of the sea, ‘Poseidon’ is a gorgeous, dub-infused roller, driven by a rubbery bassline that thrashes back and forth above a swung rhythm that nods to two-step.

In many ways both tracks cut right to the core of the Youngsta sound – sub-bass is a constant and oppressive presence, while sparse rhythms and ghostly melodies lend a sense of unbroken flow. Along with his collaborations with fellow artists such as LX One and Kryptic Minds, they’re potent reminders of the physical and psychological power of Youngsta’s DJ sets, now further expressed through his own music.
